Island EMS Wages

I don’t see how you expect us to not complain when our wages out the lowest in the country for EMS services and we have so many extra things we do including our palliative care initiative where we all have to go through extra classes to learn about so we can all do it. Not to mention us staffing hospitals that are short on staff or us with the Mobile Integrated health trucks and the mental health trucks as well. Like we have so many things we do yet get paid the lowest? I’m not a spokesperson so I’m not going to say what minimum wage we should be receiving but I sure know it’s not 23 an hour. As for you other comments towards other islanders pay being low. I’m sorry but if your pay is low like this in other jobs that’s your duty to make it aware. Plenty of others in PEI have way above 23 as stated in the comments here. You trying to discredit us for wanting a decent wage? Not taking it.
